A large glass of juice contains a mix of half mango juice and half pumpkin juice. A smaller glass contains pure pumpkin juice. If the two glasses are combined in a pitcher, the result will be 60% pumpkin juice. The volume of the small glass is 4 ounces; what is the volume of the large glass?

Answer 1

let the volume of the larger glass be x ounces
so volume in the pitcher
= x + 4

so .6(x+4) = 4 + .5x
.6x + 2.4 = 4 + .5x
.1x = 1.6
x = 16 ounces
